Storage001 - Wish I had you in class with us ! There's a whole depth of knowledge I'd love to be teaching you. There are a bunch of free WBT (web based training) classes on learningcenter available as well. You're already plugged in to all of the discussions here on the NetApp Community. It's a deep resource to search for answers. I always try to impress the importance of RTFM on my students in class - Read the Fabulous Manuals. There's all the documentation on support.netapp.com.

Tien - Looking at the man page - it should work ? "When run from a vfiler context, (for example, via the vfiler run command), nfsstat operates on the concerned vfiler. Note that if vfilers are licensed when using the -h and -l options it is necessary to run this command from a vfiler context, since the interpretations of the hosts are dependent on the vfiler.

Mperiyak - 1) Yes, you'd need to have a tape drive. It could be a VTL. 2) If you're keeping 84 monthly snaps on the vault, then you'd probably want to do the smtap from the primary. A monthly smtape would have all 30 daily snaps on a single tape image. It's not a set of UFS dumps, it's a snapmirror image on tape. It's very space efficient.

Achou - The implication of increasing the inode count is the growth of the inode file for the volume. This is also an impact on memory as the inode file is cached. Increase the inode count with care. Although you can shrink the inode count in modern ONTAP it's my understanding it still won't shrink the inode file. There's an old doc TR-3537 that discusses high file count environs. It's currently marked as 'Confidential'. If you're under NDA you may be able to get a copy of it. I hope this response has been helpful to you. At your service, Eugene E.

Mperiyak - SnapMirror to tape is a very good option. It creates a full image of the volume along with all of the snapshots to tape. Another option is to use SnapVault for disk to disk. SnapVault allows you to retain the snapshots on the destination for much longer than the retention on the primary... I hope this response has been helpful to you. At your service, Eugene E.

JP - 'Total Used' is the amount of data that should be seen from the client side. ''Physical Used' is the amount of physical storage used on the NetApp. In your first example for 'test_vol_iscsi' it looks like there hasn't been any data written to the LUN in the volume. The client sees a 5.02GB LUN, but on the filer it isn't taking up any space yet. In the second example it looks like you have dedupe and/or compression turned on. The client(s) have written 152GB of data and there's a snapshot reserve of 27.5GB, but the footprint on disk is only 75.43GB. You may also wish to look at the 'aggr show-space command to see the effect of volume space guarantee ... I hope this response has been helpful to you. At your service, Eugene E.

Greg - I've never seen this before. I could suggest two operations, but I'd be leary of proceeding on a production system without the adult supervision of NetApp support ! You're suggestion of failing the disks sounds good, but I wouldn't swap them out. Instead I'd use the advanced priv 'disk unfail' command. The other more risky option would be to fail over to the partner. Again - I'd open a ticket with support rather than proceed on my own ... I hope this response has been helpful to you.

Masson - Most APIs and the PowerShell commandlets will work between versions. There will be some differences. As you noted, there are the differences in networking between 8.2 and 8.3. There have been discussions here on the community around these changes and broken PS commandlets. Best practice is to test for API version within scripts and handle for version in the code. There is no comprehensive document I know of the shows changes in APIs between versions. I recommend that client sets up some 9.1 simulators and test their scripts in advance of upgrading.
